To me this was a good sign that we had made the choice to come here although it took about an hour to drive here. I had the Porcini, the others had Carne, Calzone Quattro Formaggi, Vespucci, and finally the Veggie. All diners in our agreed how much they enjoyed their pizza. Myself and another had to take the remainder home as we were too full to finish. During our meal there was a constant stream of people collecting their takeaways. I noticed that most people had 5 or 6 pizzas. Most of the customers must have been regulars as the staff seemed familiar with them. The decor and atmosphere was pretty basic, but who cares with lovely pizza and pasta in front of you.

The main road of Henderson is run down but once inside the ambiance of this little restaurant is lovely and homely and i forgot once settled in for dinner that i was in Henderson. The service is great and i could tell this was a family business which i later confirmed on their website was the same family as when i was a child. The cannelloni was delicious and great price at $26. All round great experience and i will definitely be coming back now.

Though from the street Adriatico looks quite small, it's quite deceptive and can actually fit a large number of people, and can be pretty loud and bustling when it's busy. But this is part of the fun - it's very Italian! Adriatico offers a great selection of pizzas and pastas, and I personally recommend going there with a group of friends or your family and getting a few pizzas to share. The 'Adriatico Special' pizza is absolutely delicious, but they are also happy to create a pizza based on your craving. My friend had a pizza with salami, pineapple, mushrooms, capsicum, bacon and cheese made up for especially for him! Another great thing about Adriatico is that it is both licensed and offers a BYOW option. This means that while their meals are quite pricey (the average dinner meal costs about $30), you can save money on wine by bringing your own. Bonus!

And they aren't too badly priced either, I guess you're bulk buying really! But they aren't the kind of gross, New York style pizzas, some how you feel healthy when eating them. This is probably down to the ingredients, they're fresh, gourmet and traditionally Italian. My favourite is the Pollo it has roast chicken, caponata, eggplant, zucchini, capsicum, red onions, celery, tomato, olives, capers, mozzarella. Wow. I've also dined in the restaurant a few times and it's always so good. I love their potato crochets, it's like biting into a little morsel of goodness. I would definitely recommend Toto if you're looking for a bit or a gourmet night in by the telly, or a fancy evening out.

Dare I say, I've finally found my new favourite pizza again?…read more Ever since Non-Solo Pizza switched chefs (at least for their pizza) a couple of years ago, I've been having a hard time finding that perfect pizza place to fully satisfy my cravings. Through random luck I found Toto online while searching for food deliveries, and decided to come try it out myself. Due to my total lack of directions, I had a bit of trouble finding them on a rainy quiet Friday afternoon. I gave them a call, and their friendly staff came out of the store in the rain to wave at me so I could find them :) Ordered the 1/2 metre Pugliese, which is my all time favourite, and they definitely did not disappoint. The olives, the anchovies, the cheese, everything was great, with just the right proportion of everything. Will definitely try to gather a bunch of friends and try out the full metre next!

The service was very friendly and nice but amateur, and with three people all checking in on us regularly, it really made us feel incredibly uncomfortable from a health perspective (as well as just being unnecessarily disruptive). Two things they could change instantly that would make a huge difference: 1) get staff to wear masks properly; and 2) have one waiter per table. The food was really good, and the kitchen staff member we saw seemed very professional and was wearing his mask properly. The outdoor environment would be very enjoyable with different service, so it's a shame this aspect which would be so easy to fix isn't working, and people are being put at risk. The wait staff seemed so well-intentioned, we hope you can put it right.
